49ers signed K Robbie Gould, formerly of the Giants, on a two-year, $4 million contract with $1 million guaranteed.

The Giants apparently didn't make much of an effort to re-sign Gould, who announced he was testing the market earlier this week. Signed midway through last season, Gould converted all 12 of his field goals and 21-of-24 extra points. Mar 9 - 6:34 PM

Signed in Week 7 when the Giants were forced to release Josh Brown following domestic violence issues coming to light, Gould proceeded to make all 12 of his field goals and 21-of-24 extra points. He enters his age-36 season. Mar 6 - 10:04 AM

Released by the Bears ahead of Week 1, Gould is Chicago's all-time leading scorer and one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, despite kicking half of his games in the Windy City. He replaces wife-beater Josh Brown, who the Giants left in the States on Thursday as they travel to London to face the Rams. Gould should be the Giants' kicker for the remainder of the season, though the Giants continue to drag their feet in refusing to cut Brown. Thu, Oct 20, 2016 08:26:00 PM

Bears released K Robbie Gould.

Gould had been the Bears' kicker since 2005, converting 276-of-323 (85.4%) attempts in 11 seasons. He was also effective last season, pushing through 7-of-9 from 50-plus yards and 28-of-29 extra points, but he had a rocky camp and preseason. Chicago does not have another kicker on the roster, so they will be making a corresponding move in the near future. Sun, Sep 4, 2016 09:16:00 PM

49ers GM John Lynch said the team is "very pleased" with TE Vance McDonald.

The 49ers attempted to trade McDonald earlier this offseason, but Lynch praised his work in the preseason opener last week. "Even though it didn’t show up on the stat sheet, it was as good as I’ve seen him block," Lynch said. "And he competed extremely hard. We were very proud of Vance." McDonald started that game, and with rookie George Kittle dealing with a hamstring injury, he has a good shot to establish himself as the lead option.
